We are the mothers of civilization We carry the entire nation on our backs Our wounds have birthed America's greatest accomplishments But be clear, our wrath will bring her to her knees I am a black woman, and the black woman is queen Wind is high and stormy tonight We can feel its magical light As the sea comes speaking to me Siren voices drift out of key Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain As we feel its magical light Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain As we feel its magical light Yeah, sittin' on the cement, readin' out the full agreement (wind and sea) Don't take shit personally, nigga, just see reflections of they own demon Own buildings, don't need a loan neither (nah) Tryna measure my contributions, homie, you gon' need a long meter My lyrics on a song with a strong beat Give you my past just to tell a nigga his future like a palm reader (damn) Under palm trees blowin' weed with my feet up Ain't never worry 'bout when nigga even mess a feat up You shouldn't ever assume, knowledge is king so Ask 'bout what you wanna know and say what you mean bro Met with Farrakhan and asked him "How in the hell do you love niggas more than they hate they self?" When you can make it anywhere, but you did make it there Stay in the same hood that kill you 'fore you get to really take it there No God perfect, they don't make it fair I'm meditatin' to keep from gettin' stuck in my way 'cause it ain't safe in there (Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain) Keep from gettin' stuck in my way 'cause it ain't safe (We can feel its magical light) After a darker night come a brighter day, ayy (Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain) Be cautious of shit that you get easy, right away, ayy (We can feel its magical light) They say after a darker night come a brighter day Nowadays I try to stay up out the gossip column (I am) Ignore opinions of people who can't even think To solve small problems (stupid) So what the fuck I look like? Yell it out Havin' a power struggle with motherfuckers Who ain't even got no fuckin' power It be, the same ones tryna empower That'll kill you either way, 'til you're dead before they give flowers (damn) I'd rather die today before I live in fear (yeah) And that go for any nigga on this hemisphere (uh) Young nigga in it, already winnin', huh? (Forreal?) I be over here when you're 20 minutes up, yeah How you gon' make it there burnin' bridges up? Took too many lessons for granted, you shoulda listened (boy) Nigga hate on me, out of ignorance, out of envy Out of fucks to give ya, hoe, fuck up out of my business I got a vision, and journey, and an attorney Just in case, I use this burner to keep me off of the gurney, ah (Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain) Keep from gettin' stuck in my way 'cause it ain't safe enough (We can feel its magical light) Yeah, after a darker night come a bright day, ayy (Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain) Be cautious of shit that you get easy, right away, ayy, be well (We can feel its magical light) They say after a darker night come a bright day My name is Tamika D. Mallory And let me be the one to tell you, a revolution is in progress I come in the tradition of Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells Ella Baker, and Angela Davis Mixed with a little bit of Jada Pinkett Smith and Cardi B Because, you see, Black women aren't one-dimensional We think different, we move different We feel different ways about different things We are not a monolith But the one thing we all agree on is we deserve respect And we demand respect First, we demand respect from our Black kings And then, we demand respect from the world You see, Brianna Taylor was essential And justice for her means justice for me
